Things I Am Thankful For, 2007 Edition
- Understanding co-workers who have made it possible for me to have a flexible transition back into full time work.
- A very kind and loving mother-in-law who adores a certain small person and who will be watching her in December. This is the kind of peace of mind for child care that money just can't buy.
- Modern medicine. If you know anyone and love anyone who has ever had major heart surgery, this one is self-explainatory. It is beyond scary to imagine what it would have been like to live it a world where we couldn't fix things in our bodies. We still have much to learn, but what we know already is pretty amazing.
- That my family can be together for Thanksgiving. With my parents in Michigan, John and I in Illinois and my brother and his wife in Texas, it's harder than you think to get everyone together.
- A supportive husband who has made having a child a shared experience, and who works hard to make sure that I have some time to do some things on my own.
- Most of all, I am thankful for this:
I hope you all had a happy, healthy holiday filled with people who make your lives better.

She's adorable. :)
Happy Thanksgiving!
I'm glad to say my Thanksgiving was just as you wished above, and glad yours was too. Miss Z is looking so engaged and engaging! Great picture with her doting and tuned-up grandpa.
I am glad that you had a great Thanksgiving!
That last picture is extra-special cute.

Your dad looks great! Glad that he is doing so well. And baby Z is adorable. I can't believe how big she is getting!

All the best to your whole family. xxx

I like your thankful list - and little Z is getting more and more cute every day!
What a great shot of your dad and Z. That is pricless. Happy Thanksgiving to all of you.
Your daughter is beautiful; welcome to the wonderful world of parenting! Kudos to you for following your baby's cues & allowing her to sleep on her tummy...there's a lot of research out there about different possible causes of SIDS; my 3 slept on their tummys as well (and with me, usually!). :)
LOVE your whiskers & paw prints sock pattern!
They both look great! I hope you had a nice long weekend.
Thanks for sharing this beautiful, beautiful photo. Looks like Miss Z is a big help in healing her grandfather. A lovely Thanksgiving message.
